TOTAL MILL REFURBISHMENT

The facility previously owned by Weyerhaeuser Corp. in Cosmopolis, Washington was completely shut down in 2005. In 2010 the facility was purchased by a large private investor group with the intent of restarting and operating the facility by mid-2011. There had been virtually no preventative maintenance work at the facility for over five years. The facility was spread out over 100 acres, had four boilers, two steam turbines, pulp mill, and a paper machine that needed to be inspected, refurbished, commissioned, and started up. The mill was in very poor condition, and there were virtually no maintenance records available, and no existing mill personnel to talk to. Greenberry was not only tasked with being the prime general contractor for the project, but also taking the role of safety management for the entire facility, establishing safety policies, training programs, and implementation. We were also tasked with setting up a site security program.
